About Metformin 500 mg Tablets
Metformin is usually the first medicine prescribed for type 2 diabetes. It lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use insulin better, and it is used together with diet and exercise.
Prescription required: upload a valid prescription at checkout and our pharmacist will verify it before your order ships.
How to use
Take with meals, exactly as prescribed. Your doctor may start with a low dose and increase it gradually to reduce stomach side effects. Avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol while taking metformin.
Follow the directions on your prescription and the pharmacy label. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist if you have questions.
Possible side effects
- Diarrhea, nausea or stomach upset (often improves after the first few weeks)
- Metallic taste
- Rarely, a serious condition called lactic acidosis – get medical help for unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing or extreme tiredness
This is not a complete list. See the package leaflet, and ask a doctor or pharmacist about side effects.
